Describe how the trial unfolded. What was the defense strategy for the factory owners? What was the trial outcome?

Solve the problem.

Let C(x) be the cost function and R(x) the revenue function. Compute the marginal cost, marginal revenue, and the marginal profit functions.
C(x) = 0.0004x³ - 0.036x² + 200x + 30,000
R(x) = 350x

Select one:

A. C'(x) = 0.0012x² - 0.072x + 200
R'(x) = 350
P'(x) = 0.0012x² - 0.072x - 150

B. C'(x) = 0.0012x² + 0.072x + 200
R'(x) = 350
P'(x) = 0.0012x² + 0.072x + 150

C. C'(x) = 0.0012x² - 0.072x + 200
R'(x) = 350
P'(x) = -0.0012x² + 0.072x + 150

For your discussion posts this week, please watch the short video posted in Unit 3 Discussion, National Congress of American Indians. Then, please consider the ways that the National Congress of American Indians, which created this video, demonstrates concern for how American Indians are portrayed in American sports. Please justify your initial response with sound reasoning. In your post, you are also invited to consider other uses of different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and images in all sports (professional, collegiate, and otherwise) to see if you think any use of these backgrounds is acceptable--and why you think what you do. What does this video seek to communicate, and how does it try to convey its message? Consider different images and words used in the video to address this point. To what extent can or should words and names like “Redskins” be used in American culture, specifically regarding sports? What impact does this have on Native American culture? On Native American people? Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Test the hypothesis from an article in a newspaper, magazine or on the internet that makes a claim about a population mean or a population proportion. Select a variable (mean or proportion) to test. Define the population. Select a sample of at least 10 data values for mean testing or 30 to 50 data values for proportion testing. Construct a 90% interval confidence interval. and state the statistical decision based on the P-value with 5% of level significance.

Justice in the Courts?

In a n issue of Parade Magazine, the editors reported on a national survey on law and order. One question asked of 2512 U.S. adults who took part was whether they believed that juries “almost always” convict the guilty and free the innocent Only 578 said they did. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that less than one in four Americans (25%) believe that juries “almost always” convict the guilty and free the innocent?
